 Personal Opinion:
I found this band thanks to Saint Rows IV. That game has many songs in its soundtrack and "No Waves" was one of them but it stood up. I checked more of Fidlar thanks to the game and they by this time only had one album with a bunch of great songs and many singles scattered through youtube. I ended up listening to that album over and over again none stop and always got all pumped up. They have a way of making these sad songs with sad lyrics, pump you up and get you all hyper. Check 'em out.
If you find this band interesting and want to see more check them

If you think I've missed something, disagree, agree or wanna add anything, comment!

Blue Mountain State is a very raunchy series that spawned its own movie "Rise Of Thadland" the humor in both the series and movie might not be for everyone but even so both have a spectacular selection of music in their soundtracks, they always manage to capture with specific songs whatever is going on in the scene; from raunchy, cringing, funny, sad or straight-out super party the song always goes perfectly with it. In here we're talking specifically about the song "1234" by " Wallpaper " that plays out during the big party scene in the movie, this song perfectly describes the ambience in the party and pumps you up to go party yourself.  Here you have the song: Alternative Link
